Australian immigration

[Jasin]

Looks like the NLP will definitely be in next Election.
But it seems Australians have a short memory from the ALP being in last time.
After Dutton, they'll re-elect the ALP and its back to where we are now.
Just two Parties. Not much to choose from.

These are the numbers - really?




Albo was complaining on TV this morning that Dutton was
making up false numbers.
The fact is that no one seems to know what the true numbers are.
I've heard that this year alone we'll have 1 million immigrants -
that we've had 105,000 every month so far this year.

The reality is that rents have doubled for many poor people -
and to buy?
houses, units and flats are in high demand and at excessive prices.
There are long queues of 50 people or more lining up to rent places
even at rip off prices.
10s of 1000s of people are sleeping in cars.
Even more are couch surfing wherever they can
or trying to get a caravan in someone's backyard
and use their toilet and showering facilities.

Albo doesn't care about us at all,  at all ,  at all.

House auctions in Sydney. They are all the same. Hong Kong? Nah. Spot the Aussie?

You can thank Albo for that.

We can thank Albo for making it worse but none of them have done anything to stop it. Not slow it down ... STOP IT.

Labor astronomically raises the numbers and the Libs reduce it back but nowhere near to the extent it should be reduced.

Too many men and too many people
and not much love to go around.

Foreign raiders buy up Australian homes

Leith van Onselen

Tuesday, 7 May 2024

According to new data released by the Federal Treasury, foreign investors purchased over 4700 properties in the first three quarters of 2023 valued at 5.3 billion:



Chinese investors led the way, purchasing 1955 homes worth an estimate $2.5 billion in value.

Simon Cohen, the founder of Australia’s largest residential property buyer’s agency Cohen Handler, noted that international investors rush to Sydney in droves because: “It isn’t just a beautiful city with prime real estate, it is a city with evidence of incredible investment returns”.

“Sydney is the perfect place for overseas buyers to park their money”.

“(But) some international buyers are offering millions over the market value and that affects the market in a bad way”, he said.

A fortnight ago, Domain reported on “Sydney’s run of ridiculously expensive secret sales” to Chinese buyers.

“Still with Sydney’s run of ridiculously expensive secret sales, the Killara home of oncologist Dr Sally Baron-Hay and Jamie Woodhill, of the Patrick stevedores founding family, has sold off-market for $15 million to little-known cash buyer Qiuqin Li”.

Australian Bureau of Statistics data this week showed net permanent and long-term arrivals
reached a monthly record of 105,000 in February.

Let's multiply 105,000 x 12 months -
that equals 1.26 million for 2024 if it continues.

ALP is selling out Australia.
They've been doing it last few terms with them in. They're getting worse.
All going into the pockets by percentage I'm sure.

We are being ripped off so badly in every way - including the tax system:
